Northern Cape will finally have Special Investigating Unit (SIU). This comes after the announcement by the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, Ronald Lamola.
Lamola said Northern Cape was the only province without the SIU provincial office and it was serviced by Free State, North West and Western Cape.
“The Northern Cape Provincial Office forms part of the new SIU strategy, which focuses on implementing business process improvements that are result driven. The strategy places emphasis on the positive impact of the SIU work.
“This will also improve our turnaround time of investigations, reach the expected legal outcomes and ensure the implementation of SIU outcomes and recommendations,” he said.
The SIU spokesperson, Kaizer Kganyago said: “The SIU is an independent forensic and litigation agency established by the President in terms of the Special Investigating Unit and Special Tribunal Act, Act 74 of 1996, to investigate serious malpractice, corruption, malfeasance and maladministration.
“This is in relation to the administration of State institutions, State assets and public money as well as any conduct which may seriously harm the interest of the State and the public.”
The opening will take place at Mittah Seperepere International Convention Centre in Kimberly at 10am on Thursday.”
